Facilitation and biodiversity–ecosystem function relationships in crop production systems and their role in sustainable farming (2021, background): “Critically, facilitative plant– plant interactions might be a key element in addressing these challenges (Brooker et al., 2015, 2016).”
Facilitation in communities: underlying mechanisms, community and ecosystem implications (2016, methodology): “Although overlooked in facilitation research, Brooker et al. (2016) argue that the mechanisms involved operate © 2015 The Authors.”
A Sustainable Agricultural Future Relies on the Transition to Organic Agroecological Pest Management (2018, background): “Diverse species mixtures may have physical characteristics that produce more favorable microclimates, like a reduction in humidity that could lower fungal pest pressure, or even being an impediment to rapid movement of an insect pest [26,208].”
